Medical iPhone Apps for Doctors and Med Students
One of the frustrations of the iTunes Store is the number of supposed "Medical" apps that are not designed for healthcare providers or students.
There are 1,544 medical iPhone apps (and counting) in the App Store. Unless you know the name of the app you’re looking for, it is very time consuming to sort through them all. For example, do you need a Drug Reference guide for your iPhone? Good luck, there are over 50 of them.
So, SoftwareAdvice.com decided to do the hard work. They have hand picked a list of the top medical apps and separated them into 18 categories.
For reference, they discovered that only 733 apps could really be used in medical education or a professional health care setting. The rest were consumer-oriented applications (i.e. personal fitness, memory games, wellness, etc).
For all you app users, we’ve included the full list of 733 apps at the end of this post. Below are several mental health apps you may choose to try.
